Replacing Ryan Finley: A Possible Blueprint

College football season is finally upon us, and for the first time since before 2016 Ryan Finley will not be the starting quarterback. Going back even further, NC State has been blessed with stability at the position for the last 5 seasons now thanks to two years of Jacoby Brissett. Good quarterback play is almost a must to be successful, and I say almost because somehow LSU has managed to win at least 8 games every year since 1999 even with suspect quarterback play. Luckily, they have the best athletes at basically every other position. Don’t believe me? Seriously, from 2008-2011 they went back and forth between Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson and still won 41 games while also appearing in a BCS Title game.
